Great time had by all at 2011 NA's! Congratulations to all the participants. Terrific wind on day 1 (10-20!) - day 2 was a washout

Technical question for the participants....in gusty, shifty conditions with short legs and short tacks, what method did you use most to keep the boat on her feet? I heard people say that they:

1. played the traveler A LOT
2. played the backstay
3. played the mainsheet

I understand it is a combination....but which method did you find most effective?
